    Spousal sponsorship

    The most important thing is that you have the savings to support your family. Whether it is a good idea for your spouse to arrive when you are unemployed is an entirely different discussion.

    Security screening type A34: comprehensive

    Do you have a WP or study permit? If not you are still visiting Canada not technically moving. Tough to say if you will have issues entering Canada depending on why you have a comprehensive screening. Nothing odd in the GCMS notes. A bit risky to come to Canada in October because of the...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    A lot of the 24.5k people approved in 2025 will be from backlogs from applications from PGP2022-24. Many approved 2026 will involve applicants from PGP2023-2025. There is always a backlog of applications. Even 20k is actually very generous considering huge backlogs in other programs and no...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    Sorry it was actually 24.5k people for this year, 21.5k people for 2026 and 20k people for 2027. Although targets can be revised before 2027. Can’t see targets increasing anytime soon. This is why some of the people in 2024 draw will not land until 2026 and more complex cases later than that...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    Your timeline is not necessarily representative of many others even if they are processed through Mississauga. Please don’t make people worried because their processing is slower which is still normal and they may still have quite a long time until their family gets PR. Applications are not...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    There is a wide range of processing times from around to 1 year and outlier around 3 years. Processing is not chronological there are many factors that determine processing speed. If anything H&C involved hard to predict a timeline.

    Family Sponsorship – Waiting after Medical & Biometrics (Ankara Visa Office)

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Where is the data showing the majority of candidates are still coming from abroad? In terms of rare and needed skills Canada is forced to welcome people from abroad if people are not applying from Canada. Easy example we have a shortage of certain healthcare workers from nurses, to lab workers...

    Work Permit Expiry & PR Application in Pool – Options for Extension

    He can apply for a dummy extension that will only buy him a few months maximum. He does not qualify for a BOWP. Did his wife arrive on a TRV? His wife being in Canada will likely reduce his CRS score so at the moment not sure it makes sense for her to be in Canada as I assume a visitor. Where...

    H1B Interview appointment wait times in Canada

    Not sure governments are generally known for making adequate plans. Trump admin doesn’t have a great record of thinking about the downstream implications of their decisions so far. Also sure Miller’s goal is likely to reduce the number of foreign workers so making it harder and more difficult...

    Is EE FSW (Outside Canada) still open

    Just incredibly difficult to get selected. If they have a college (assume you mean uni) teaching job they should be aware that it may not be possible to get one in Canada. Would look into potential job opportunities in Canada since Canada has a small number of universities.

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    In general the longer someone remains in Canada, especially if they now have a family in Canada who can retain their status, the harder it will be to remove them.
